FACTCHECK.ORG FOLKS!
I hope this letter finds you all happy, healthy, and looking forward to fall.
A lot is going on here this time of year as we head into the "party season". Halloween through New Years is the best time to be a working musician. All the best gigs of the year are in party season. New Years Eve has traditionally paid three times regular pay. Book now!
My first two songs on iTunes and Amazon have been in the system now for a month and this week I got my first royalties report that comes out on the 15th of each month. So far my earnings are: $1.98. I know you are thinking that that will not get a cup of coffee at McDonalds, but it shows you can make money. I see by the reports for this month that the sales are up to a much better point now. I'll let you know
UPDATE:
I-Tunes royalties went from $1.98 the first month to $16.59 the second month to $36.90 the third month.
OH BOY! NEW Jam Along now available on iTunes or Amazon.com.

In the past I would get an order for a cd and have to place the cd in an envelope and put postage on it and take it to the post office. Now folks can down load the file, or order a hard copy cd from Amazon and I don't have to handle anything. This is a huge change in the music biz. Think about it. You create an original song and load it up to the Internet and it becomes a money tree for ever. My sales on the Internet are world wide.
Here are the music videos to both original songs on YouTube.
Blue Noodle #3

Blue Noodle #3 is a southern rock blues guitar solo instrumental I wrote. Noodle refers to the solo. Jimmy Rodgers named his songs; Blue Yodel #? when he could not come up with a better name. Blue Yodel #1 is better known as T For Texas. 12 bar blues in A.
Guitar Lover
video loading...
This is one of my original compositions called Guitar Lover. Instrumental country surf rock guitar song tribute to my favorite guitar instrumental songs of all time. Fun and easy to play songs like Pipe Line, Walk Don't Run, Wildwood Flower, Under The Double Eagle, and Bull Durham that we all grew up listening to. This song is also very simple. The only chords are E C7 and B7. I hope you get a kick out of it.

In an effort to go green I am once again offering on line guitar lessons. I tried this a few years ago but the technology was not right yet. Today the quality depends on your Internet connection speed. If you have a web cam and and IM service like Google's Gmail (free) we can do our lessons on line. No long distance fees. Lessons will be scheduled like a regular 'in person' lesson. It is a live lesson so be prepared to ask questions. For more information go to ON LINE LESSONS
Today's video is a one of my favorite all time guitar players from the 80s. Danny Gatton. I got to see Danny here in Dallas with Emmy Lou Harris back in the early 80s. Google him.
Enjoy.
